Yes I did. I think my issue is what Ring is saying. Will try changing the switch settings tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks!

Ringadingh is correct I think. The servo has the switches in the back that need to be set. They govern when the servo holds. Maybe double check yours.

Actually, the only optional switch settings are for the sensitivity. These are switches 4 and 5.

There are three available settings, low, medium and high.

Low is for light vehicles with high power.
Medium is for most vehicles.
High is for heavy vehicles with low power.

The sensitivity will affect the smoothness of the operation of the servo. (A heavy vehicle with low power will require larger increments of application of the throttle to maintain a set speed than a light vehicle with high power.)

I don't believe that the sensitivity setting will affect the range of speeds at which the unit can be set.

Here are the switch settings as recommended by Gadget's instructions:

SW 1 - ON
SW 2 - OFF
SW 3 - OFF
SW 4 - OFF
SW 5 - OFF
SW 6 - OFF
SW 7 - ON

Sensitivity setting:

SW 4 - ON and SW 5 - OFF = Low
SW 4 - OFF and SW 5 - OFF = Medium
SW 4 - OFF and SW 5 -ON = High

Important: Remove the wire jumper under the LED at the left of the DIP switches.

Hope this helps.

I plan to change the switch settings from what Gadget listed. I took the wire jumper off before install. I'll let you guys know what happens with changing the switches and taking more slack out does. It works, just not at the speeds I want. Hopefully, this will do the trick. Until next time..........

Kawgirl maybe it is a vacuum leak mine started slowing down today and all the switches are the same as they were yesterday so I know the switches are not the problem with mine it just slowed down to 60 and stayed there so I am going to take a look at it tomorrow.

Your case may be a bit of slack in the servo cable causing it to slow down. Take a look to see if its ok.
